Live Stream The Oscars on Kodi with USTVnow Plus (90th Academy Awards)

Stream The Oscars at 8 PM (New York time) tonight on ABC, using the USTVnow Plus addon for Kodi. Red Carpet begins at 6:30 PM. USTVnow does require registration, but it’s totally free and well worth the minute it will take to register. USTVnow is a television series intended for American expats living overseas, and gives you 24/7 free access to ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, My9 and PBS. They also have a paid plan with a ton of other channels. Their service is completely legal and licensed, based in the United States and works anywhere in the world.

USTVnow Plus is located in our community repository and developed by mhancoc7. It is probably the most popular live TV streaming addon for Kodi, and since it’s licensed (and not some sketchy site) streams are generally highly reliable. It should be noted that since there are more people watching during award shows, you may experience some buffering – but it’s flawless during normal times.
